Circuit Gays Tested for Drugs in Changi Airport (compiled)

[ExVersNowBtm]

Apparently CNB (ie, Singapore's drug busting unit) knows of some of our local gay boys' shennanigans overseas especially whenever there's a huge party in Taipei, or BKK, or wherever.

I mean, you go into Fridae, there's a timetable of happening parties around the region already. If a non-party goer like me can find out, I'm sure a resourceful CNB agent would too.

Anyways, I hear that some boys got caught upon their return from Taipei at Changi Airport and got hauled away for a drug test, cuz CNB suspected they took substance when partying overseas.

Just want to remind everyone - even if you take substance like ecstasy overseas, CNB still can have the right to charge you and jail you. So please don't try ok?

[TopChinese]

Er.. don't the boys finish whatever it is they are taking while they are overseas? Hope they are smart enough not to bring the stuff back. Anyway these days, the synthetic stuff does not stay in your system that long. Without any drugs on your person, CNB have nothing to charge you with.

PUBLIC MESSAGE: Drugs are bad, they make your willy go small.

[thaiboyz]

Heard tat news too...one 2nd ltr and one major got into trouble after coming back from the recent mega weekend parties in Taipei. Recreational drugs stay in one's body for at least four days depending on the type of drugs. Some more nasty type such as ICE and Ketamine will stay for more than a week. Just wonder how these the CNB did their random checks. Better play smart for those into stuffs.

They must be there for Starlight "Live Firing" exercise .....

[GachiMuchi]

I'm not sure if the news is true, but I can certainly say that to spot a PLU who is into parties, just follow the stereotype of how one would define a party going AJ and you will have your answer.

I believe the CNB officer would have the profile of those who attends parties. They (the partying PLUs) would certainly stands out like a sore thumb among fellow passengers.

Need I say more?

They shrink ur brain too.... haha

[Asura]

I was actually on the flight to Taipei onboard Jetstar Asia on Friday 15th with my mum and uncle for a tour, when the party happens on that night.

I saw many PLUs in the flight waiting room. There is a lot of them and all seems going for the party.

When I am back on 18th (Monday) I did spot some of the same people who join my flight. However, I did notice that a few was as to followan immigration officer... I did not know what is happening at all... I wonder was it the case that you guys mentioned.

Anyway, abusing of drugs may or may not stay in your body for long, but a thorough DNA test will be able to tell if you consume any substance for the past 6 months (shown on Taiwan News on recent cases or celebrity being caught abusing drugs)

Please do not take drugs, don't even try, no matter where you are.

[AsianLion]

Drugs are simply bad. And you're hearing that line from a licensed drug inhaler.

[armyfit]

waiting for their medical report before an investigation is conducted and to decide whether they would be charged...

why would the immigration people know ah? unless got tip off.

Not true...

Amendments (since 1998) under Section 8A of the Misuse of Drugs Act, Chapter 185 would allow a S'pore Citizen and PR to be charged if tested positive in Singapore.

8. Except as authorised by this Act, it shall be an offence for a person to

How long do drugs (including alcohol) stay in your system?

Well...it depends on you!

The length of time any drug (illicit or prescribed) stays in your system will vary. In large part, it depends on your physiological makeup (e.g., your physical height, weight, your amount of body fat, your age, current state of health, whether or not you exercise mildly-aggressively-or at all). Whether or not you are undergoing any degree of stress (i.e., your "state of mind") at the time you ingest drugs can play a part as well.

Still other considerations include your "frequency" of use (1x per day? 3-5x per day?), the "quantity" of drug you used each time, and the "length of time" (days? weeks? months?) of your consistent drug-use prior to your drug test. Even the quality ("potency") of the drug you ingest determines "how long" the drug is detectable in your system when your urine is analyzed (tested) at the lab.

However, for most people, detectable levels (i.e., shows up as a "positive" in a laboratory drug test) of the following drugs stay in the body for these approximate periods of time. As you review the figures below, please keep these three thoughts in mind, too:

"Drug-Use Is Life Abuse...Drug-Use Is Self-Abuse...Drugs Destroy Dreams!"

Alcohol (Beer, Booze, Hooch, Liquor, Wine), 1hour to perhaps 10 or 12 hours (Yes, alcohol IS a drug! Drinking more than "in moderation" can lead to alcohol (drug) abuse...and perhaps alcoholism. During 2002, more than 18,000 people in the U.S. were killed by too-boozed-up DRUNK drivers! DON'T BE ONE OF THEM THIS YEAR!) CLICK HERE for more information about alcohol abuse and alcoholism.

Amphetamines (Biphetamine, Black Beauties, Crosses, Dexedrine, Hearts), 1-2 days

Anabolic steroids (Stanzolol, Stanazolol, Nandrolene; Steroids, Roids, Juice), oral- up to 3 weeks; injected- up to 3-6 months and more

Barbituates (Amytal, Nembutal, Seconal, Phenobarbital; Barbs), 2-3 days

Benzodiazepines (e.g., Ativan, Halcion, Librium, Rohypnol, Valium; Roofies, Tranks, Xanax), 2-3 days

Cocaine (Candy, Coke, Crack, Flake, Rocks, Snow, Whitecoat), (Candy, Coke, Crack, Flake, Rocks, Snow, Whitecoat), 1-2 days

Codeine (e.g., Fiorinal w/codeine, Robitussin A-C, Empirin w/codeine, Tylenol w/codeine, 1-2 days

GHB (G, Grievous Bodily Harm, Goob, Liquid Ecstasy, Liquid X), 1-2 days

Heroin (Horse, Smack), 1-2 days

Inhalents, just a few hours

Ketamine (K, Kit Kat, Special K, Vitamin K), 2-4 days

LSD (Acid, Blotter, Microdot, Yellow sunshine), a few hours or up to 5 days

Marijuana (Bud, Blunt, Grass, Herb, Pot, Reefer, Sinsemilla, Smoke, Weed), 2-5 days (the daily, heavy user can sometimes be detected up to 30+ days)

MDMA (Ecstasy), 1-5 days

Methadone, 1-7 days

Methamphetamines (Crank, Crystal, Desoxyn, Glass, Ice, Speed), 2-4 days

Methaqualone (Ludes, Quaaludes), 10-15 days

Nicotine (Cigarettes, Cigars, Habitrol patch, Nicorette gum, Nicotrol spray, Prostep patch; Smokeless tobacco, Snuff, Spit tobacco), 1-2 days

Opiates (i.e., Opium: China, Dreams, Laudanum, Paregoric; Dover's Powder), 1-2 days

Oxycodone (OxyContin, Percolone, Roxicodone), 1-2 days

PCP (Angel Dust, Boat, Hog, Love Boat), 1-8 days

For chronic drug users, drugs (other than alcohol) can be retained in the system much longer by the chronic-user after their last use. For instance, marijuana and PCP can be detected for up to 60-90 days after lengthy, heavy-use periods of use.

May I suggest that you do some editing to your quoting, rather than purely quoting the whole chunk.

Cannabis (also known as marijuana or ganja in its herbal form and hashish in its resinous form) is a psychoactive product of the plant Cannabis sativa.

Although Cannabis possesses medical properties, it is still a Controlled Drug, listed in the First Schedule of the Misuse of Drugs Act, Chapter 185. We are not the only country that list Cannabis as a controlled drug.

I am so proud of all you who champion a drug-free culture.

Yes, we need to remind everyone to stay off drugs. Thanks a lot.

THe taiwan police has charged quite a number of their popular artisans who consumed creative drugs, the offenders were not got caught while consuming the drug but through evidents obtained from hair sample. According to the taiwan police this test has found to be very accuracy for post consumption period as long as 6 months.

Busted for drug use...in 15 minutes

THE waiting room could be mistaken for that of a clinic: It has an overhead television set and in front of it, red plastic chairs laid out in rows.

The people sitting on them are a motley crew of respectably and sloppily dressed folk. Some look blanched from anxiety. When their turn comes, they shuffle, not into a doctor's office, but into a toilet. Each person is there to take a leak - one that determines if he or she can later walk free. Almost without exception, they already know the outcome.

A former pub waiter said of his being stopped in July last year at HarbourFront after a trip to Batam: 'When I was told to take the test by a plainclothes officer, I knew I'd surely test positive, so I was prepared to go in.'

The 20-something said he had taken Ecstasy tablets in a disco on the Indonesian island.

The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) is famous for its drug busts. Less known about - but no less a part of its enforcement of Singapore's strict drug laws - are its powers to order instant urine tests on those suspected to have taken drugs.

It has run more than half a million urine tests in the last three years. These are conducted in rooms in the six police divisional headquarters across the island.

The CNB, revealing its urine-testing procedures for the first time, said the centres test two groups of people - walk-ins and former drug abusers recently released from rehabilitation.

The walk-ins are those just hauled up in drug raids that take place day and night, while the second group, which numbers around 2,000, must report for routine urine tests for up to two years. Tests take place up to thrice a week to ensure they stay 'clean'. Officers track down those who skip the tests. Less than 5 per cent do.

Those who turn up for the routine tests pass their identification cards to officers. They then sit down and wait for their turn to answer nature's call.

Each is escorted by an officer of the same gender into the toilet, where, in full view of the officer, he or she urinates into a plastic bottle resembling Brand's chicken essence containers, only smaller.

While hardly the most pleasant of jobs, officers watch to ensure 'evidential integrity', one of them said, referring to cases in which suspects tried to cheat - for instance, by mixing their urine with water from the toilet.

A former delivery driver aged 47, who reports weekly for these routine tests, said of being watched: 'No lah, it's not embarrassing. Both of us are men.'

After the sample is obtained, it is put into a machine to test for traces of four major drug groups, including heroin, cannabis and synthetic drugs like Ecstasy.

This is the instant urine test, which tells the officers in 15 minutes if they should arrest the person or let him go.

Seven in every 100 people tested get arrested following routine tests these days, a far cry from the mid-1990s when every other person tested was nabbed.

The whole process takes less than half an hour for those who are clean and cooperative, as are the vast majority of those reporting for routine tests.

An officer said those who are tested regularly are quiet and well-behaved, but those newly ensnared in the drug dragnet may not be. Handcuffed, they may come in anxious or drunk - and angry. And then there is the delicate matter of coaxing them to produce three small bottles of urine. The officer said: 'Some hold it in and some will pee in their pants while handcuffed in the waiting room.'

But there is no escape. The officers can wait - even up to 12 hours if necessary - for these suspects' bodies to do what comes naturally. Suspects are counselled into cooperating and encouraged to help themselves at the water dispenser.

They are allowed to drink only 'Singapore tap water' and nothing else, to shield officers from allegations that the drinks of those who fail the test were spiked. The officers can fall back on the law if coaxing fails: Under the Misuse of Drugs Act, failure to provide a urine sample can land one in jail for up to 10 years and a fine of $20,000.

As long waits stretch out the turnaround time before officers can return to the field, it is important that the tests can be done even with small amounts of urine, the officer added.

Technology has helped. Regardless of the number of drugs the sample is tested for, officers now need just three small bottles of urine, which can be filled up during a single trip to the toilet. In the past, two bottles were required for each drug type.

The results of the instant test have more than 90 per cent accuracy. The remaining samples are sent to the Health Sciences Authority for a conclusive analysis.

The tests do not lie even when suspects guzzle lots of fluids to dilute the concentration of drugs. The officer said: 'They can drink a lot of water and pee and pee and pee before they come for the test, but we can still detect, because you are basically what you eat.'

Question, why is taking drugs overseas illegal? Not as if you are being in any in the 1st place.

[jazz]

I have also heard of cases where people consume drugs in Amsterdam coffee shops (where drugs are legal) but are nabbed when they return at Singapore airport. I suppose taking drugs anywhere is illegal by Singapore law...

Section 8A Subsection (1) & Subsection (2) of the Misuse of Drug Act, Chapter 185 states:

(1) Section 8(b) shall have effect in relation to a person who is a citizen or a permanent resident of Singapore outside as well as within Singapore where he is found as a result of urine tests conducted under section 31(4)( b) to have smoked, administered to himself or otherwise consumed a controlled drug or a specified drug.

[20/98;2/2006]

(2) Where an offence under section 8(b) is committed by a person referred to in subsection (1) in any place outside Singapore, he may be dealt with as if that offence had been committed within Singapore.

As such, the law would apply to only Singapore Citizen and Singapore P.R. only.

And that the person can be dealt with even if the drug is consumed overseas.

[jazz]

... ... ...where people consume drugs in Amsterdam coffee shops (where drugs are legal)... ... ...

Have to clarify, not all drugs in Amsterdam are legal.

Drugs there are classified into into two groups, depending on their influence on human health – soft drugs and hard drugs. Hard drugs as cocaine, LSD, morphine, heroin are forbidden in the Netherlands as in any other country. Soft drugs as cannabis in all its forms (marijuana, hashish, hash oil) and hallucinogenic mushrooms (so called magic mushrooms or paddos – from Dutch: paddestoel - mushroom) are legal under condition of so called “personal use”.

I found out from several friends that many party gays have been caught by Changi Airport customs on the way back. They got urine tested which were jailed for being positive for party drugs.

 

Seems like going to jail for drugs is a common thing like HIV+ at the moment.

How do CNB decide who to spot check at Customs? Those wearing tattoos? Wear very loud fashion? Look haggard? 

[Guest Guest]

Maybe tip off. So custom to spot check.

This has been on going for awhile already. Regardless gay or str8, they know the peak periods in which ppl go overseas for chilling. (E.g long weekends, certain festivals overseas etc). More so if you travel to places like Bangkok and Bali during such peak periods.

If u have been binge-ing on drugs for days in a row, the signs are going to be quite obvious. Wont be too surprised if Customs fella are trained to spot them

Why would i know when i haven't ever considered that option? Not that i would want to consume drugs outside singapore, but this is rather draconic. People should have the right to 入乡随俗 when overseas. Thought that's only 人之常情。So unreasonable this law! Wah liew!! Now i know how exactly ancient our government's mindset is!

Well I do know of foreigners caught for taking drugs. One of the local SPG DJ's Angmo ex was caught taking drug with another SPG DJ. He was basically deported after being detained for short period of time. 

 

I remembered red a BBC gay producer also kenna jailed for short time after kenna caught buying drug in SG from his local Malay BF.

 

As for incident at customs,  I heard from gossip that a bunch of Pinoys working in SG was caught after coming back from year end party in Taipei. I guessed they were likely to be deported and their work permit terminated,immediately .
